hoo ha, was he going to add a read diff and axles, too?

Somehow it seems like it would be very difficult (though cool?) to take
the center TorSen diff out of a quattro tranny and put it in the single,
"front" diff position on a two wheel drive car.

I suppose maybe he was going to use the rear output as a power take-off,
but he would want a locker for that.

Speaking of which, did anyone else see the "Red Green" episode where he
has a 4wd PU on blocks and is using the wheel-less hubs as a four
station woodworking shop?  I must say, I was fascinated...
